Washington, DC

Due to concerns related to COVID-19, the Environmental Film Festival in the Nation’s Capital has cancelled all events scheduled for March 12-22, 2020

On Wednesday, March 18, at 7 p.m., the National Archives will host the Washington, DC, premiere of the film Nomad: In the Footsteps of Bruce Chatwin.

Nomad: In the Footsteps of Bruce Chatwin tells the story of the legendary travel writer, novelist and adventurer Bruce Chatwin. When dying of AIDS, Chatwin’s friend and collaborator, director Werner Herzog, made a final visit to him, and Chatwin gave Herzog the rucksack that he had carried on his travels around the world. Thirty years later, inspired by Chatwin’s passion for the nomadic life, Herzog carried that rucksack on his own journey. The film portrays the creative and personal vision that Herzog shared with Chatwin: the passion for the power of storytelling.
